week 2: 31 DAYS OF OSCAR Blogathon!

We have now entered into the 2nd week of the 31 DAYS OF OSCAR BLOGATHON! Aurora (@citizenscreen) of Once Upon A Screen, Paula (@Paula_Guthat) of Paula’s Cinema Club and Kellee (@IrishJayhawk66) of Outspoken & Freckled bring you this mega blogathon celebrating the very best in cinema! To coincide with Turner Classic Movie’s (TCM) month-long broadcast of all things Oscar, 31 Days of Oscar…

The blogging trio decided to amp up the fun to this year’s event by adding a different theme to each of the five weeks. And for this 2nd week, we celebrate all the various contributors that add flavor to a film… the writing, musical score and songs, costumes, choreography, the cinema photography, art direction… basically, anything goes this week. With so much emphasis generally placed upon the performances and overall direction of a film, we wanted to devote a week to all the talented artists and craftsmen of film that don’t always receive such a bright spotlight. And yet, we all know these masterpieces would not be the classics they’ve become without them. So now we humbly sing their praises!

Thanks so much to all of our wonderful bloggers for contributing their splendid write-ups! Be sure to read and comment on their blogs. Here’s the full schedule of each themed week…

Oh no! Are you clicking on your blog name in this post or the title if your contribution? When you click on your title of your post (Memoirs of a Geisha) it links directly. If you click on the general blog name (…on popcorn and movies..) , it links to the main home page of your blog. At least that's how I set it up and it seems to be working that way for me. btw- thanks again for contributing! Now I better get cracking on posting comments!
